Holy hell, how do these people get elected (not just him, but the jackass who referred to women as 'vaginas' and the guy who seemingly thought 'wetback' was a socially acceptable way to refer to Latino people...)

I read an interesting essay a few years back on how we should avoid saying, essentially, that people should be better at hiding their racism. I wish I could find it now! But I feel like that's relevant here. All too often we attack people for saying racist things rather than thinking racist thoughts. It wouldn't be OK for a lawmaker to be a closeted anti-Semite either.

welcome to my world (Oklahoma). this *is* how it is here.... and why I hate it here...

being both Vegan & pacifist, I get called 'insane' all the time. really?! I'm insane? I feel like I live in a world of psychopaths. read all my anti-gun, anti-violence posts... you'll get the picture of what it's really like here.
